What to Use to Move Heavy Furniture?

Hi there, we moved our furniture to the new house last month. So, I can tell you what to use to move heavy furniture. We had several pieces of furniture that were heavy, so we used a dolly and sliders for movement. Let me share the entire process with you.

What can I Use to Move Heavy Furniture?

1. Dolly:

   For moving heavy furniture, a dolly is one of the best options for you. This will ease the pressure on your back when you move the furniture. 

You can use a 4-wheel dolly. But make sure that the furniture is balanced well on the dolly and strapped in with the help of lifting straps.

1. Sliders:

   If you are moving the furniture across the floor and want to avoid scratches on your flooring, then sliders are a good option. This works best when you’re moving furniture within the same house. 

To use, lift one side of the furniture and place the sliders at the bottom of the two legs. Repeat the same process for the other side. You can then push the furniture, and it will slide easily. 

1. Hand Truck:

   The hand truck is your friend for moving furniture up or down the stairs. For this, center the balance of the furniture on the truck and tie it with straps. 

If you are moving downstairs, then stand behind the truck with the handles facing you and the other person a few steps ahead of you. Tilt the truck towards your body and take small steps.

For going upstairs, roll the hand truck backward towards the stairs. Stand on the first step and pull up the truck while it leans towards you. The other person should follow you from the front of the furniture rolled. 

So, these are the three things you can use. I hope this answers what to use to move heavy furniture.
